resources for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, beginning October 1, 2018, and ending September 30,
2019. (M. Beard, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Beard addressed Council stating the tax rate being proposed for fiscal year 2018-2019 is
$0.735848 per$100 of assessed valuation. The fund summary shows appropriable funds of$102,472,956
which represents all of the operating and capital funds and includes the budget for the Wylie Economic
Development Corporation. The adoption of the fiscal year 2018-2019 tax rate is presented as a separate
agenda item.
Citizen Comments
Adam Monk, Lauryl Duncan, and Stephanie Champy addressed Council requesting a decrease in the tax
rate.
Council Comments
The Mayor stated if it is Council's desire to decrease to the effective tax rate,then $426,000 had to be cut
from the proposed budget. Mayor pro tem Stephens and Councilmen Porter and Wallis presented Council
with a list of potential cuts from the expanded level of service requests. Councilwoman Arrington,
Councilman Dahl, and Mayor pro tem Stephens stated they were in favor of maintaining the effective tax
rate plus one cent to continue to plan for the future of the City. Councilwoman Arrington and Forrester
both asked for future strategic planning meetings with staff. Councilman Forrester stated he thought the
City could maintain its level of service at the effective tax rate. Councilman Wallis stated he would like
to come to a conclusion that both meets the needs and wants of the citizens, and serves the needs of the
City. Mayor Hogue stated he was in favor of keeping the tax rate at its current rate because of the current
demands and needs for the community. Councilman Porter stated he was in favor of the effective rate due
to the community's healthy growth. Mayor Hogue stated that approving a tax rate over the effective rate
requires five votes from Council; therefore, if there are not five votes to approve the proposed tax rate
Council has to determine what to cut. The Council went through the General Fund expanded level of
service requests and directed staff on which items to cut.

Staff provided Council with an updated list of suggestions for cuts identified during the discussion; those
items added up to $176,421. Council went back through the expanded level of service list to determine
other items to cut to add up to $426,000.
Councilman Dahl and Councilwoman Arrington asked if Council could consider the effective rate plus a
half of a penny. Mayor Hogue and City Manager Manson replied that if that is Council's desire,then the
item would need to be tabled to a different meeting so that staff could draft new documents, and the vote
would still require a 60% vote. Councilman Wallis stated he would be interested in considering an
effective rate plus a half of a penny.
Mayor Hogue called for a recess at 8:50 p.m. to allow staff to add up the recommended cuts of the

2. Consider, and act upon, approving the property tax increase reflected in the budget. (M.
Beard, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Beard addressed Council stating the tax rate needed to support the newly adopted FY
2018-2019 Proposed Budget is $0.725848 per $100 of assessed valuation. This tax rate is the effective
tax rate and represents a decrease of$0.055152 (5.5152 cents) from the tax rate in FY 2017-2018. This
agenda item is required by state law because there will be an increase in total tax revenue the City
receives due to new property that was added to the tax roll. Section 102.007 of the Texas Local
Government Code and Texas HB 3195 require the governing body to hold a separate vote to ratify this
increase in property tax revenue that is reflected in the budget.

review mechanism filings; declaring existing rates to be unreasonable; adopting tariffs that
reflect rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement; finding the rates to be set

Manson, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating the City, along with 171 other Mid-Texas cities served
by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division, is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee
("ACSC"). On or about April 1, 2018, the Company filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff
adopted by ACSC members. The Company claimed that its cost of service in a test year ending
December 31, 2017, entitled it to additional system wide revenues of$42.0 million. Application of the
standards set forth in ACSC's RRM Tariff required Atmos to reduce its request to $27.4 million. After
review of the consultants' report, the Company offered to settle for a system wide increase of $25.9
million. Following further negotiations, ACSC's Executive Committee agreed to recommend a system
wide rate increase of$24.9 million. The financial impact on residential customers is $1.06 monthly and a
commercial customer is $3.20 monthly.

Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor pro tern Stephens, seconded by Councilman Dahl, to approve Resolution
No. 2018-33(R) of the City Council of the City of Wylie, Texas, approving a negotiated settlement
between the Atmos cities steering committee ("ACSC") and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex Division
regarding the company's 2018 rate review mechanism filings; declaring existing rates to be unreasonable;
adopting tariffs that reflect rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement; finding the rates to
be set by the attached settlement tariffs to be just and reasonable and in the public interest. A vote was

5. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2018-26 amending Wylie's Code of Ordinances,
Ordinance No. 2005-07, as amended, Appendix C (Wylie Comprehensive Fee Schedule),
Section I (Water and Sewer Fees), Subsection B (Water Rates), and Subsection C (Sewage
Collection and Treatment Rates); Section II (Garbage, Trash and Brush Fees), Subsection
A (Residential Fee; Deposits), and Subsection B (Commercial Charges). (C. Hoisted, Asst.
City Manager)
Staff Comments
Assistant City Manager Hoisted addressed Council stating in 2016 the City updated the water and sewer
rate model and it included various components includes expansion of the Muddy Creek WWTP, water
and sewer capital improvements plan (CIP), outstanding debt service, the proposed wholesale water rate
increases from the North Texas Municipal Water District, the transfer to the general fund, and future
utility fund staffing needs.
Hoisted stated the multi-year rate recommendation was implemented by Council in FY 2017 and is based
on a consistent rate increase over a five-year period which uses excess fund balance to smooth out the rate
impact while also maintaining the required 90 days of operating reserve. The rate model incorporates a
water rate increase of 9%, and a wastewater rate increase of 7.5% for all rate types through FY 2021.
Hoisted stated Scenario 3 is the current study; a 9% increase for water and 7.5% for wastewater. Scenario
2 is a possible option which is a smaller increase to next year's rate only, an increase of 7.5% for water
and 5.5% for wastewater. Staff has not received the predictions from NTMWD on what the wholesale
rates will be. Scenario 1 is a 3% increase in both water and wastewater. Going with Scenario 1 would
require the City to use $657,000 of the fund balance to make up the difference. Hoisted stated that, as the
City does have some recommended debt issue coming up in a couple of years that is to be used to replace
the Ballard Avenue Storage Tank, an option would be to leave the rate at the recommended 9% and 7.5%
in accordance with the latest study, thereby increasing the fund balance and giving council the
opportunity to use more cash for the elevated storage tank and finance less debt or bond for that
construction. Staff recommends, given the City does not have the 10-year prediction from the District,
leaving the rates at 9% and 7.5%.
The Ordinance also incorporates the recently approved Solid Waste and Recycling fees into the
Comprehensive Fee Schedule.
Citizen Comments
Stephanie Champy, Wylie resident, had a few questions regarding her water bill.
